[quote=Anonymous]In six months you have had two women who you've felt are like your grown daughters?

Your kids are in elementary school. So they're between 6-11. They're either too young to realistically be being pushed towards academic rigor, or old enough to not need much more than redirection and "well, what do YOU think?" types of questions when they're stuck.

You seem very intense, to be honest, and the fact that within 3-4 months you feel comfortable giving grown women advice on their lives and careers yet they've left the job, makes me think your advice is not necessarily wanted by them.

So I don't think the issue is finding an older woman, but more that you need to back off a bit. You should know less turnover is better for your kids.

I no longer need an after school nanny (I used to have someone from 2-7), but when we had someone, we felt as you did about paying for time during the summer when we didn't need them. If we didn't need them for four weeks, we paid them for two of them, kind of as a retention bonus of sorts. [/quote]
